next-themes VS NativeBase

Next themes is used for themes switching

Shadcn UI supports dark mode for Next.js and Vite applications. For Next.js applications, Shadcn UI uses next-themes for the dark mode toggling functionality. When a user toggles between light and dark mode, the application switches between the light and dark theme tokens.

Let’s start with Next.js. We’ll use the next-themes package, which allows us to handle dark mode very easily without worrying about blocking page rendering to check user preferences.

"use client"; import React from "react"; import { ThemeProvider as NextThemesProvider } from "next-themes"; import { ThemeProviderProps } from "next-themes/dist/types"; // https://github.com/pacocoursey/next-themes/issues/152#issuecomment-1364280564 // needs to be called NextThemesProvider not ThemesProvider // not sure why export function Providers(props: ThemeProviderProps) { return ; }

Next themes

It is that simple. It has 74,528 weekly npm downloads and if it's good enough for @leeerob, it's good for me too. Get creative with your loading state and toggle button (or not && KISS). Check out their next-themes GH repo for more info.

Gluestack, like any other customizable UI library, is built to make styling less cumbersome. It comprises a set of themed and unstyled components easily integrated across different platforms and devices. Originally, Gluestack was a part of NativeBase, a component library for both React and React Native. With performance and maintainability in mind, NativeBase was split into two parts, focusing on a universal CSS-in-JS library and an independent set of unstyled components. Gluestack has several advantages, some of which are:

Native-base

Just like the other libraries mentioned in this article, Gluestack is another unstyled component library. Originally a part of NativeBase, the developer team created this library to prevent bloat and enhance maintainability of the project.

KumaUI : Another relatively new contender, Kuma uses zero runtime CSS-in-JS to create headless UI components which allows a lot of flexibility. It was heavily inspired by other zero runtime CSS-in-JS solutions such as PandaCSS, Vanilla Extract, and Linaria, as well as by Styled System, ChakraUI, and Native Base. ### Vue

NativeBase is being abandoned unfortunately , I wouldn’t start a new project with it https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/4302
